This is well constructed in terms of line and syllable count requirements. The message is powerfully thought provoking and your satori simply marvelous. Nicely done and I thank you for sharing it.

Thank you, Angel. What a complimentary review.
Comment from Sis Cat
This made me smile because it is quite true. We do not think of money the same way when we buy online with credit cards instead of with cash in person. I love your satori "loan sharks in plastic." Thank you for sharing.

It's too easy to go into debt. It happened to my son-in-law before he started dating my daughter. You can bet she won't allow him to have any credit cards at all! He'll piss away the money. Thanks ever so much for the six--on a Saturday no less.:-)
Comment from Louise Michelle
Loan sharks in plastic - yes indeed. I guess the only good thing is they can't break your leg over the internet. I have no pity for people who get themselves into huge debts, although with some it is a sickness. Hugs, Lou

LOL Leave it to you to think of that. However, they can ruin your name. Three guesses who raked up unpaid bills to the point where he couldn't qualify for cards anymore.-- Jeff, the lovable son-in-law before he met Nichole. She handles all the money and likes it that way.
Comment from Dean Kuch
Holy holistic heists, Spit! 19.5 percent interest rate!?! That's insane-in-the-membrane (cracked in the head, in layman's terms, LOL)! I've always thought there should be some kind of cap put in place by the government regulating these sorts of cyber crooks. Of course, that'll never happen.
Great little senryu. Wow!

Hey, this could made a horror story, I'm sure. With big bills, all you can afford to pay off each month is the interest alone.

That's how they get 'cha.
Comment from IndianaIrish
Love the irony in your senryu, Shari. Yeah, it's so easy and convenient to order online, but before you know it, you've maxed the card. You do satire so well and they are always enjoyable.
Smiles,
Karyn :-)

Thanks, Karyn. It's good to use them occasionally so as to build up credit ratings for the big purchases i.e. cars, houses. I'm paying half credit, half cash for the juvederm treatments and the permanent make-up.
Comment from Jackarrie
This is a great senryu and also a great warning to all who use their credit cards on the internet. I would not do it until I heard about paypal.
well done

Hey, I checked your profile and see you wrote that wonderful astrology prompt. For some reason, my hubby is leery of paypal. He says it can be used by prisoners????
Comment from alexisleech
Aren't they just! Having said that, if you don't have a credit card, you can't do certain things like hire a car (here and in France) That makes my blood boil!
Another clever senryu!

Yes, they do serve a purpose. Save them for emergencies, I say.

Shari my friend, enjoyed another witty dose/verse from your mighty pen; not only they come in all sizes/shapes but as you said so craftily even in any material...why not plastic! Have a great weekend.

Thanks, amen. Good to hear from you again.
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
How true... good one, Shari. At almost twenty percent interest, they're sharks, all right. I only use my debit/check card. Then, if I don't have the money in the bank, I don't buy it.
Again, I rarely give sixes to haiku etal, but this one is just toooo good. :)

I guess I touched on something universal. Three sixes on a Saturday! My credit is booming. Like you, I don't spend unless I have it in the bank. :-) I'm really flattered by your rare haiku rating.
